Kirk Cousins looked GD great for the 4 minutes he observe played. I know it's just the preseason, but I'm ready to declare him the best sports ever

As someone who lived in his old market, I never thought he was as great as the hype. I'm curious if he's actually an upgrade over oh God it's been too long I've actually forgotten his name. Football come back.

I don't think it's a stretch to say Kirk cousins is the best football player in history.

I've deleted like 8 drafts of a blogfaqs post because I can't decide how much info to give you on this person so I'll just state the facts: a guy I don't know that well but have reason to stalk on Facebook when his name pops up apparently just got back from Israel and took a crying selfie video about how righteous Israel is and the FB post ends with "Stay holy, my dudes!"

The Rockies are going to go with Chad Bettis (more like BAD Bettis), so all the nice momentum from the past two nights will disappear. I swear that BB better put Senzatela back in the rotation when he gets off the DL (not that he's really good either, but he's better) but sadly I can see that not happening

It's insanely funny that the Mariners won 116 games one time. The Red Sox are having one or the best seasons imaginable and still have to go 31-11 from here to tie that ridiculous record. It's a hilarious number of wins but the fact that the Mariners of all teams did it makes it far funnier

It's funny cause that was the last time they made the playoffs.

And the good news is we might not have to see Wade Davis. The bad news is that's because Ottavino is blowing it for him.

The Rockies won again.

I looked at the Dodgers season topic on Baseboard and all their fans are basically me when I freak out, like every loss means the sky is falling. It's nice to know that I'm not that weird. Also I totally sympathize with their anger because they are obviously the better team but whatever, they stole the first game in spectacular fashion, then we stole 2 and 3 to make up for it, and game 4 was just a fairly typical close one

At hockey tonight the other team's goalie literally ragequit. Our scoring phenom Jacobson got his 3rd goal, and the goalie started skating after him and yelling. We were up 6-1 and they only had 7 total skaters and he was pissed that we weren't "laying off." It's an unfortunate situation for them and we felt bad, but what were we supposed to do? We all paid and drove out here to play hockey. And we weren't being dicks about it either, we were just playing the game. It was weird because during the first period he was cracking jokes and chatting with our bench and stuff.

Then, Jacobson scored a fourth goal with 8 minutes left in the game and the goalie took off his helmet and just skated off the ice.

I've had to wait more than that but it's usually pretty quick. I've been there when it's packed as all fuck and never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes.

On busier days, I've seen the cashiers yell back to the kitchen "three!" if 3 people walk in. One advantage they have is that they probably have a pretty good idea of what everyone's going to order

Rescue Albies and Acuna.

For that matter, rescue Lindor, Jose Ramirez and Mike Clevinger off the Indians, and put them all on a non-racist team.

I mean, if you're a rec league goalie, you gotta assume this is going to happen at some point.

I thought Arenado had a good MVP chance but Carpenter is ruining it all of a sudden. Also, now he's hurt and I don't know how long he'll be gone (he can pinch-hit but not play 3B, so he isn't on the DL or anything).

If the Rockies make the playoffs and the Cardinals don't then he'll have a decent chance since the voters still somewhat do that "a real MVP would lead his team to the playoffs" crap, although that seems to be changing in recent years. Maybe. The recent examples of non-playoff MVPs are Trout and Stanton but Trout is special and Stanton had the most home runs in several years

It's extremely hard to handicap it right now but there seems to be a narrative forming around Javier Baez of all guys. The other popular options are pitchers on non playoff teams

It definitely helps your case in their eyes to make the playoffs but it really just depends on how the dumb voters are feeling in a certain year. If they decide on a narrative they like they make up excuses to get there. So if they want Arenado to win it, he will, but I don't know who the narrative tide is leaning towards.

I've really hated watching them for a while now. The post matheny era has been by far the most enjoyment I've gotten out of watching them since 2015. Partly because they're playing well and partly because matheny had crushed my spirit so badly and the new guy Shildt is a million times better in a million different ways. We were all subconsciously rooting for them to lose under Matheny because we knew the team had no future with him in charge and now it feels like there's reason to be hopeful again.

I warned you last week but now it's actually true that the A's are coming for the division. At this point it's plausible that the Astros could miss the playoffs if they don't get their shit together. I'm sure they will make it still but they actually are going to have to work fo it which no one could have predicted
